The Vault with Monica & Amir
Boz’s Assistant/Ride-or-Die Nico Govan Spills ALL The RHOBH Tea
Season 1, Ep. 68
•
In this revealing and wildly entertaining episode, Nico Govan pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like to be the right hand to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Bose. From jet-setting with A-listers like Michael B. Jordan to landing her dream job with Bose after a whirlwind interview process, Nico shares how she found herself at the center of reality TV’s most elite circle—and how Bose and her powerhouse sister Ahoba made her feel like family from day one.
Nico spills all the behind-the-scenes tea: how the RHOBH casting came together after Bose’s trip to Ghana, the off-camera sisterhood that fuels Bose’s empire, and what really went down between Bose and Dorit when the cameras weren’t rolling. She opens up about the pressure of being in the spotlight, the toxic myths about reality TV friendships, and why Bose’s calm, commanding energy has not only transformed the show—but changed lives.
But it’s not all glam. Nico gets real about the emotional toll of assistant life, the burnout that forced her to hit pause, and the moment Bose backed her unconditionally. She dishes career lessons, survival tips for working with celebrities, and what it means to truly serve with intention—and boundaries.
Plus: Bose’s legendary workshops, Nico’s reality TV ambitions (Survivor stans, take note), and the power of being a woman supporting women, both behind the scenes and in front of the lens.
This one’s got heart, hustle, and housewives-level drama. You don’t want to miss it.
